Because public_path returns your local public path. That might look like this /www/projects/laravel/public/work_photos. Instead, you need to set a relative path
$faker->image('public/work_photos', 400, 300, null, false),

Faker save image to sub folder under public folder
I've created a faker to generate images. I want to store the images to my works folder under public folder. By default faker is storing images to storage. so I changes the image path using public_apth() function. but it didn't storing images. my code is below:
$factory->define(\App\Models\UserPhoto::class, function (Faker $faker) {
return [
'image' => $faker->image(public_path('work_photos'), 400, 300, null, false),
];
});

@bobbybouwmann I tried. but didn't work. no data seeded to the table and image not added to work_photos

@bobbybouwmann Thanks for the support. Issue was with the $faker->image() function. $faker->image() function is calling $kaker->imageUrl() function and that function sets $baseUrl variable to lorempixels.com like this$baseUrl = "https://lorempixel.com/";. I replaced https to http and now its working. but I actually don't know why I want ot do this. but its working fine now.

It's downloading the image from that URL and then puts that locally. Also, it seems that lorempixel switched from http to https again. There was a long time when they didn't have https.
